Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies rallied after the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill. The bill, known as the Bitcoin Act of 2025, was presented by Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) to establish a reserve without using taxpayer funding.
Notably, Senator Cynthia Lummis also reintroduced the “BITCOIN Act” on Tuesday, which now features more cosponsors from the Senate than before.
Following the news, Bitcoin surged 7.69% to $82,733.64, briefly crossing the $83,000 mark. It is now trading at $82,316, a 2.5% rise in the past day. The announcement also pushed Bitcoin’s market dominance to 61.3%, its highest level in a year.
In parallel, Ethereum rose 5.57% to $1,910.35, rebounding from below $1,800. XRP is now trading at $2.22, up 5% today after initially dipping to $1.92. Dogecoin also climbed 10.04% to $0.1652.
Meanwhile, several less prominent altcoins also posted strong gains during the period. Kaspa shot up 27.07% to $0.4805, while Bittensor and Celestia jumped 20.60% and 19.59%, respectively.

Bitcoin’s Next Move: Key Resistance Level
Despite the rebound, analysts warn that Bitcoin still faces a key resistance zone. Crypto strategist Michaël van de Poppe stated that Bitcoin must surpass $83,500 to sustain its rally. If it does, he predicts a swift move toward $88,000-$92,000 in the short term.
On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows strong buying pressure, with whales accumulating more than 65,000 BTC over the past 30 days. This pattern resembles the accumulation phase between November and December, which preceded Bitcoin’s previous major rally.
